twice a month

its 15 past 12 on a saturday afternoon.... THE WIFE is doing some crossword puzzles, junior is swinging in his swinger, sound asleep... i am just trying my best to ignore the fighter jets buzzing around outside.... yes, national day is coming and they are flying formations in the clear blue sky... its pretty cool when you think about it, i get a sneak preview of the planes going through their rountines, most people would only get to see it on the actual day itself....big fat hairy deal....

we were at the dr theos two tuesday back.... we are into our 27 week.... number two has been kicking and turning in the tummy according to THE WIFE.... he is a kicker, unlike junior... we got to the docs office 15 mins past seven, 15 minutes late.... theres about four couples infront of us... but it wasnt long before we were called in....

doc: hello, how are we today?

THE WIFE: fine, i guess
doc: well, you put on quite some weight, i guess you are making up for the past few visits..... has the baby been kicking?
THE WIFE: yah, pretty much the same time everyday...
doc: okay, lets take a look....

the nurse readies THE WIFE while i tried to make some small talk with the doc... it wasnt long before we were looking at the little screen...

doc: everything looks normal.... heres the head, spine, and leggs...
me: can i have a picture of that?
doc: sure..... let me see if i can get a good one......

after everything is done, we made an appointment to see the doc in two weeks time... from this appointment onwards, we would be seeing the doc every two weeks... i guess it wont be long when we start seeing the doc every week and before we know it out pops number two.... i guess i better enjoy it while i can, when number two comes around, i would be up to me nose in diapers and milk feeds again......

laundry basket no pants

its ten past one on a wet saturday afternoon... THE WIFE and junior are having their nap and i am just taking a little time out to catch up on this blog.... I have been a little behind, its been a while since i last updated..... a convenient excuse would be that i am busy but i guess the real reason would more likely be that i am getting lazy.... that would also explain why i am putting on more weight and why junior is running around the house with the laundry basket on his head.... no, he is not trying to be spongebob squarepants, although he is more like laundry-basket no-pants.... hmmm....

the fact is, i am pretty beat from work and THE WIFE is getting heavy with number two.... couple that with junior who is always running around and dosent want to be held on to, going out for walks is like some sport race... THE WIFE with the weight lifting, junior with the running and me with the catching up.... hours of fun....

junior is still not eating much... he can actually get through one day with just 4 bottles of milk and maybe a little noodles in the middle of the day.... most meal time involves us chasing him down to get food into his mouth... doesnt work most of the time though.... he still weights 10.4kg... considering that he is coming to twenty months, thats light for a boy.... his cousin, edbert, who is 7 months old, is weighting about 8 kgs... chances are he will out weight junior when he turns one... but the doc whom junior sees, says that junior is within the average weight and height range for his age... i guess as long as he is healthy, THE WIFE is happy and i am fatty... hmmm...
